Material Directions 1, 2, and 3
For material directions 1, 2, and 3, you observe or specify any of these values, depending on the model type and material orientation:
the axes of the referenced coordinate system
one of the solid directions
For 3D material orientations, you select one of the following six combinations of the current coordinate system directions for the three principal material directions:
Material Direction:
1
2
3
Coordinate System Direction or Solid Direction:
X
Y
Z
Z

Creo Simulate automatically changes the label above the third column of check buttons from Z to –Z when necessary to reflect the fact that the material orientation is right-handed.
* 
The material directions 1, 2, and 3 correspond to the directions understood on the Material Orientation Definition dialog box when you enter orthotropic or transversely isotropic properties.
When you click a Material Direction option button:
Creo Simulate redraws the material orientations.
The displayed material directions differ depending on the option you select on the Relative To menu.
For an example of material directions, see Example: Material Directions.
